This Costa Rican beach resort is hard to get to — and even harder to leave

Hidden on the Pacific coast, Nosara is a spawling outdoor paradise for surfers, yogis and expatriates

The road to Nosara is unpaved, with good intentions.

After a two-hour highway journey to Costa Rica's Pacific coast, the route turns rocky, potholed and narrow. You begin to slow down, dodging trucks and livestock. In arid February, dust coats the lush roadsides, creating a clay-colored trench in the tropical dry forest. There is no indication that this is a road to anywhere — certainly not a sprawling paradise for vacationers, surfers, yogis and expatriates.
